FRANCE AND THE PANAMA CANAL Unbounded Conflaence in De Lesseps A Supporter of Boulanger For- bly Ejected From the Senate ixcited Collcagues, Soring Weather, (Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pamis, Dec. 22 —[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tir Ber|—The Parisian sun- shine this week has been so bright and warm as to rival thatof the Riviera. The Bois and Ave de Boise aro filled with promenaders in light spring overcoats. The shop windows on the boulevards are full of etrennes and gi gantic bonbons, Old medueval pearls und diamond jewelry are all the fashion this year, All France is now preoccupied with the Panama canal. There is unbounded confi- dence in Ferdinand de Lessops, but [am able to state that at preseut the government has no intention whatever of transforming the canal into a government undertaking. The European Herald has made a sensa- tion in Paris by publishing a letter that M. Max Outrey, when French minister at Wash- ington, wrote to Mr. Evarts at the time he was secretary of state. The letter is dated March 22, 1850, and constitutes a formal understanding on the part of the French government, that the canal shall re- main essentially a private en Tho present cabinet are prepared to stand by Outrey’s letter. Senator Bdmunds' resolution has been widely published m France, and much com mented on, but the spirit of public opinion and the press is that the great financial es- tablishments of France will be able to fur- nish money enough to enable the canal to b completed, and that there will be no advan tage in the government's interferenee at all. The Journal Debats points out that French bondholders of Suez stock fully protected, although the Suez en Egyptare now in the hands of Eagla The Debats says, even if the United States government should build forts at cach end of the canal, or if even it annex it th French bondholders of Panama stock would still be protected, and would have still the glory of complishing it as a French enterprise, The venerable senate is getting 1o bea pretty lively place again, and has offered two primeurs to Pavis this week. First of all thespeech of Challamel-Lacour flagellating the republic, cavsed a great sensation. On Thursday there was a scene of wild tumult at Palais du Luxembourg. The entire assembly of gray-headed legislators sprang to their feet, ana clinched their fists, They stormed and raged with shouts and gesticulations against one of their number with whom they differed in opinion. That one man who stood in the tribune look- ing down on the crowd of enemies was M. Alfred Maquet, the author of the present French divorce laws, and the only supporter of Boulanger in the senate. This is not the first time Maquet has suffered for his convie- tions. In 1860 he condemned to four months’ imprisonment and a heavy fine, on account of a work puolished by him on society and marriage. The hatred against Maquet on account of his political views, has been slumbering long in the sen- ate. On this occasion it burst forth in un- checked fury. *‘Clear out miserable traitor, Down, down, Caesarian. Don’t let him speak. Expel the wreteh.” Such was the tumult of cries, hisses and groans which greeted Maquet as he held his ground, deter- mined to be heard. Finally, seeing that tho uproar enly increased, Maquet went to the table of the stenographers and handed them his manuscript. At this the cries became greater than before. Senators from all sid made a rush at the speaker, swearmg, howl- ing and brandishing their arms. They literally forced Maquet to leave the room, then they decided that his words should not be printed in the jour- nal of official record. Meanwhile, Maquet waited outside, pale and axcited, Hed clared his intention to occupy his place as usual at the next session. The subject of his attempted specch was the unpopularit, of the scnate and the power General Boulanger was wielding through his plat- form of rovision and dissolution. The higher the Kiffel tower rises, the higher becomes the workmen's wages. The present prices per hour are 80, 90 and 95 centimes for carpenters; 7 centimes for hoisters, and 60 centimes for boys. Working i the winter weather, at an altitude of 200 metres, rapidly loses its charms. The various laborers em- ployed on the structure decided to strike for ariseof 50 centimes an hour. M. Kiffel flatly refused to accede to the demand. Con sequently the tower is likely to move more slowly in its upward march for some days to come. The strikers held an oxcited meeting, wired their gricvances, passed votes of cen- sure against the council of Prudhomme, which hud decided in M. Eiffel's favor, and against those workmen who refused to join in the strike. A military balloon, on fected by M. M. Gabriel Yon and Louis Goddurd, was tested successfully at the Champs de Mars, ‘Phe balloon and hydrogen ¢zas generator, dynamo machine, telephone, search lights, and threo chariots to carry them about, only weigh ogramnies. Yesterday the balloon was inflated in six hours, aud went up with the entire cargo of telescopes, search lights and the telophone, A heighth of 500 meters was attained in a fow minutes, A telephone wire and @ wire for an electric licht are imbeded n the strands of cable that attach to the balloon. three chariots, something like gun carriages, carry about the whole concern, ecach drawn by four horses. Balloon batterics on a sys- tem like that of M. M. Yon and Goddard, have been adopted by the French, German, Kussian, Austrian and Italian armies, and in the next war thoy will become an essential feature of all the military operations, the telephone enabling the general commanding, with & staff ofiicer in the ballon, to act with such promptuess and decision in military movements as bave never been dreamed of, M. V. Dubamel, who for some years was M. Jules Grevy's secretary at Elsee, is soon to figure 1n a divorce court at the instunce of nis spouse. The affair derives allthe more piquancy from the fact that through the lady M. Duhamel became landlord of an estab- lishment the tenants of which would have been heavily handicapped in thelr candida- ture for the Moatyon prize for virtue or the dot of Rosicre, indeed it was this unfor- tunate acquisitiva which uitimately led to M, Duhawmel's departure from the Elysees, He las entered the army of the discontented and is now an ardent Boulangist.

The Report of One of the Courfers Sent to the Interior. axzinam, Dee. 22.—One of the special messengers sent into the interior in October, in the hope of obtaining news of Emir Stanley from the caravans, has sent a patch announcing that he met Arab traders from Wadelai who positively afirmed that Stanley met Kmin there about January 20. Stanley, the traders said, had 330 men and plenty of stores. He had endured great pri- vations, but he and all his party were well, although extremely exhausted. The delay in reaching Wadelui was dueto dificultics en- countered on the route. Emin was then in a fairly good position, although some of ljs Igyptian oficers wero grumbling, and many of his soldiers had de serted, The kings of Ugunda, and Unyoro were hostile to Imin, who was obliged in November to repel predatory ncursions from the east, His general health was good. A fortnight after Stanley’s arrival Emin re- coived a message from the Muhdi, pom pously intimating his intention to subdue the whole country as far as Great Lake, and promising good treatment if Emin submitted, Ewin replied that before evacuating he urust wait for the Mahdi to prove the legitimacy of his cluim to the prouince, Emin told Stanley that he did not desire to leave Wad- elai. The entire route to the east const was most dangerous on account of the incessant agitation among the tribes and the hostility of Mwanga. Toward the middle of April, hearing that a force of Mahdists was coming, Emin ordercd his advance posts to rotire to Wadelai, and Stanley sent messengers to the kings of Uganda and Unyoro. About the end of April, when the traders left. Wadelai, Stan- ley was auxious, owing to the absence of news' from the rear guard on the Aruwhimi, and was arranging to send a strong detachmeut in search of them along the route which he himself had followed. Stanley also again urged Bmin to leave Wadelai with him and regain the coast. Stanley sent scveral couriers with news for Europe, One was the courier who was sent by the foreign consuls at Zanzibar to appraise Emin of the departure of the relief expedition. This courier had remained, at Wadela: and was sent back to the east copst after the arrival of Stanley. Another, tourier was sent in the direction of Aurwhifni, Burussers, Dee. 22.%King Leopold has ro} cerved from St. Thomas a telegram confirm- ing the report of the arrival of Stanley and Emin Pasha on the Aruwhimi. o iy GAVE UP HIS OCLIENI'3S NAME. Lawyer Cutting Makes a Revelation to the Chicago Grand Jury. Cmcaco, Dee. 22.—Lawyer Cutting was brought before Judge Jamieson this morning on behalf of the state. The judge was usked to rule that Cutting must reveal to the grand jury the name of his client, for whom he was negotiating the return to their owners of some stolen bonds. Cutting stated to the court that he declined to give the name for the reason that it was his privilege, as it had been given to him in the capacity of an at- torney. The court ruled that it was not a privileged question, and dirccted Cuttng to answer, He was then taken before the grand jury! Tn veply to a quo: tion in the grand jury room, Cutting said that, now that his right to testify was cs- tablished, he was very glad to do so. F then gave the name of his client, but it is not made public in the interest of justice. Cut- ting added that he had never scen the stolen bonds and did not know where they were. ‘The value of the securities is only about N0, the interest in the case centering mainly in the peculiar action of the sup- posediy hizhly respeced Mr. Cutting in at- tempting to stand up on his privileges as an torney in negotiating the return of the stolen property and refusing to divuige to the police the names of the thicves, To-night a man named Plessner was arvested as one of the culprits, and the police expect mo- mentarily to capture Frank Shaw, anothe: Plessoer and Shaw have an office in the city, and made a show of being in the insurance business, —_— At the National Capital.

Since he was appointed he has not spent a single winter awmong his “subjects,” but on one pretext or another has succeeded in get- ting himself called to Washington, always at the expenseof the national government. Last winter Swineford spent several wontns here in an attempt to induce congress to legislatc upon the territorial mutters in the line which has been so frequently advocated by those who believe in the future of the extre northwestern quarter of the United States domain.

BUKEAU OF AGRICULTURE, It is the general belief of those having a knowledge of the condition of the bill to cre- ate the department of agriculture, that the conference committee will be able to come to an agreement soon after the uassembling of congiess, and that with the beginning of the second century of the nation's history, a scc- retary of ulture will stretei his feet be- neath the president's cabinet mahogany. There are any nuinber of candidates already in the field for this position. Among those who have been most frequently mentioned are ex-Governor Iurnas, of - Nebraska: La- fayette Turk, of Illinois, ex-president of the state board of agriculture; Senator Palmer, of Michigal Gov- ornor Rusk, of Wisconsin; Congressman Funston, of Kansas. The latter has the support 0f nearly all the farmors of his state behind him, andis said to have fought sev- eral years during the war under General Hurrison. Funston is the senior republican mewber of the committee on agriculture the house, and if he is not made secrets the new department will doubt chairman on the agricultural committes the Fifty-first cong cnator Palmer, who is chairman of the e committee o [ says he does not want a e position, and besides, it is generally conceded that1f Michigan is 10 be represented in the cabinet ger will be the man se- lected for Senator Beck there are either THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE, During the interval between the adjourn- ment of congress yesterday and its reassem- blage one week from next” Wednesday, there will e_ecarnest attempts made by some of the leaders, who still remain in the cit, secure a sufficient number of protectionist votes, on the democratic side, to insure a vote on the senate substitute for the Mills tariff pitl, as soon @s that measure shall reach’the house, towards the latter part of t mouth. It is understood that the policy will be for Messrs, Reed or McKinley w moye that the amendment be concurred in. “This will be antagonized by a motion, on the of Mr. Mills, in ail probability, to refer mautter to the ways and . means commit- tee. 1f the latter motion prevails, of course the end of the bill will be the into which the clerk of the ways and means committee will putit. It may be, however, that a motion will be made to non-concur in the amendment and to submit the document to a conference committee, 1f this motion pre vails it will be a virtual victory for the house advocates of the substitute, and there are several sanguine republican’ members here who believe that it is possible to secure enough femocratic votes to insure a confer- ence committee. If tuis proves to be the case the bill will take the same course us a similar measure in the Forty-seventh con- s did.
